Numerical studies of dynamic stability under small random parametric excitations
Journal Title: Computer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science - Year 2010, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
An efficient numerical procedure is proposed to obtain mean-square stability regions for both single-degree-of-freedom and two-degree-of-freedom linear systems under parametric bounded noise excitation. This procedure reduces the stability problem to a matrix eigenvalue problem. Using this approach, ranges of applicability to the well-known stochastic averaging method are discussed. Numerical results show that the small parameter size in the stochastic averaging method can have a significant effect on the stability regions. The influence of noise on the shape of simple and combination parametric resonances is studied.
